and in a surprise to no-one, as a result of the Tomlinson signing, Shamar Stephen has been released

this doesn’t mean the team doesn’t want them, just that the terms associated with RFAs resigning are too onerous for this year’s cap.

Strange days indeed....The Contract for Tominson has 3 voidable years, therefore his 2 yr $21 million deal has cap hits of $6 million, 7.5 million, and then a dead cap hit of $7.5 million in year three.

He's obviously past his peak, but a valuable veteran signing for a very young CB group

Chad Beebe is resigned (at veteran minimum $920k)

When Rasul Douglas or Donte Jackson are your number one corner it's hard to argue.

Spielman must be spewing - no 7th round linebacker for the Vikings this year......
on a side note, does that also mean the Vikings can’t sign RFAs off other teams where the compensation would be a 7th rounder. Asking for all the Ike Boettger fans out there

My mock draft for the Vikings (from pff.com) - just happems to be filled with "my guys" with the first 4 picks. A trade down in the first round is almost a given, I believe

ESPN's Courtney Cronin reports the Vikings were prepared to draft QB Justin Fields if he fell to the team with the 14th pick in the 2021 draft.
Minnesota kept a close eye on Fields as he slipped out of the top five. Cronin said they would have drafted the Ohio State QB if he had fallen another three picks. Instead, the Vikings drafted Texas A&M QB Kellen Mond with the 66th pick. The Star Tribune's Ben Goessling said the team's interest in Fields and their drafting of Mond "suggests they're thinking toward the future at precisely the moment Kirk Cousins' cap number is set to cross $30 million for the first time." Cousins, 32, is signed through the 2022 season and is in no immediate danger of losing his job to Mond, widely considered a raw prospect. But with Cousins slated to account for 20 percent of the Vikings' payroll in 2022 on a team that "wants to operate with a prominent running back and keep high-dollar defensive players," keeping Cousins next season might prove difficult, Goessling said. Mond's rushing capabilities would make him an interesting fantasy option if he were to see playing time in 2021.

ive been all over this over the week, as Courtney Cronin is a regular guest on Matthew Coller’s podcast. The reality is that the Vikings are prepared to move on from Cousins and he will be traded in 2022 if things work out with Mond.

Cousins is above average, not elite, at times borders on it, but its really purely and simply the economics of the cap here. Cousins aint taking us anywhere, not a 20m a year career qb like manning, brady, rodgers etc that teams keep holding onto and working the rest of their roster around.

Just watching the Panthers draft video now and the Vikings called us twice for #8 pick.
Offered us this year's first with 43 & 90. Glad we told you to G&GF. Low-ball campaigners.
Must have wanted Fields.

Yes - the Vikings wanted to trade up for Fields (this was confirmed by Spielman).Just watching the Panthers draft video now and the Vikings called us twice for #8 pick.

You never know in the trade game with what you can get away with, Spielman low balled the relatively new team at the Panthers to see if he could sneak one through. Instead of trading up the Vikings ended up trading down and secured two extra 3rd rounders which included Mond.
